In addition to providing a private cloud, Synology's Cloud Station Server can be used to back up files from multiple client computers.

Businesses and consumers looking for greater control over their backups will also want to check out Synology's Active Backup for Business. This all-in-one business data protection solution gives IT admins the ability to remotely manage and monitor backups for PCs, servers and VMs through one centralized console.
The backup process is configured through the console using templates and custom tasks. In addition to selecting the backup destination, you can specify which volumes you want to backup, set a schedule, and select a retention policy.
Active Backup for Business also gives you a variety of recovery options. If you need to get back up and running quickly, VM's and physical computers can be instantly restored to VMWare or Synology's own Virtual Machine Manager. Otherwise, you can do a bare metal restore of PC's and physical servers as well as granular (file/folder level) restores through the Active Backup for Business Portal.
